sylvanwitchGreetings and salutations, friends! I hope the week that was has passed easily for you and that you've had some successes to share with us today.
Please do tell us how your fitness journey has been the past week. You know we won't judge, no matter what you report.
Weight: 199.2, down 1.4 from last week. I was SO EXCITED to break 200 and sustain that loss! Wooo-hoooo! My original goal was to lose ten pounds by 31 December. Since I've surpassed that, I'm hoping to lose 15 pounds by then. I'm trying not to fixate overmuch on the scale number because that way leads to dangerous eating habits, but it does feel good to see the changes in my clothes, as well, and in my overall level of energy and strength!
Exercise: I did yoga four times out of four pledged this week, strength-training four times out of three pledged, and got lots of steps in except for Monday and Tuesday, when I was still sick from my cold. I'm mostly recovered now and am doing my best to get at least 10K steps per day in.
Eating plan: I've been focused on eating whole foods, unprocessed whenever possible, with lots of fruits, veggies, beans and other legumes, etc. I'm not depriving myself of anything--I still eat dessert after dinner every day--but I have been eating smaller portion sizes and have mostly avoided snacking at night.
Hydration: Yes!
Meditation: Yes!
Sleep: Meh. I'm still struggling with adjusting to the time change. I go to bed on time, usually, but often have difficulty falling asleep. I'm working on it, though, and hoping I'll adjust soon. Being mildly sleep-deprived at work is kind of miserable.
The week ahead: More of the same good habits, more quality sleep (*crosses fingers*).
Have a great week ahead and good luck on reaching your fitness goals!

Date: Wednesday, 19 November 2025 11:18 pm (UTC)I was tired today and super, super tempted to stop at the hot dog place with the amazing milkshakes, but I reminded myself that tomorrow is "Thanksgiving" (chicken) lunch at school and I'm wistfully hoping that might include pie (we were only promised chicken and potatoes) so I opted to save my calories for tomorrow. (If there is no pie, I might just hit the store on the way home though.)
